The Minister should save us with stories that touches the heart..please someone should help me out, What were the excuses previous power ministers gave on their inability to fix the power problem?

May his soul rest in peace......Dont want to take my mind back to those good old days...

RIP to the deceased...Most death are avoidable.

"...the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped. " ~ Last Speech of Hubert H. Humphrey

"A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma

Stop the deportation of the sick, the needy and the handicap..
Please is there any one in the house who can help me to print the above slogan on a T-shirt?

manbuchai: What happened to your brother that went to study abroad,did he come back home after his studies? did he stay behind or return with loads of cash? Abeg complete your gist joor,i no wan digest half tory.... Make us see reason why we should not leave the shores of Nigeria.

Bros, he actually came back spent five years back in Nigeria, got married, had a child and left for United States after Dad passed on....Unfortunately, he does not believe in Nigeria and will never come home no matter what.........However, I have conquered that fear, I have refused to abandon this country and I am contributing my quota by staying behind, throwing away all the opportunities to abscond..

Well, I don't need that advice, I was lucky I had a father ( may his soul RIP) who told me right from early childhood that there is no place like home...He made me believe that I am a Nigerian and should never crave otherwise, I could still remember vividly, when my Brother left the Garden City at 20 through scholarship to study abroad, he was devastated and told everyone who cares to listen that he has lost a son...while others were rejoicing my father was in a state of mourning, he never believed that you should leave your country to a foreign land no matter the situation, everyone told him to relax that his son will be back after his studies but may father will ask " have you seen any young man that goes abroad to study that wants to come back home"? I wish we have people like him in government who believes so much in Nigeria.

solomon111: My brother na so we see am o.
Very soon,those mallams will start deporting people.

No be me talk am oooooooo

@OP kindly let us know when the construction is completed..meanwhile, tomorrow some people go say Abuja an dem own....na all Nigerians money dem dey use construct am oooooooooooooo.. When will they bring the capital of Nigeria to Niger Delta?. #justasking

Seriously, this Malam has an issue with his brain..His remarks and statements ( on twitter, pages of newspapers and conferences) are short of the qualifications he claims to hold and his exposure in life..I hate when people try to cast aspersion on others simply to score a cheap goal.. I see him as a bigot and its his likes that made APC a party that is dead on arrival.

Christianity has been brought to a ridiculous state especially by Nigerians who open churches for the wrong reasons and the followers who go to church for the wrong reasons and the God they worship has continued to look else where,feeling unconcerned...Well the Colonel donation is part of "How to worship the Nigerian God" by Elnathan John...

The next one fit be 23
Just bubble and shuffle and forget about your age.

Lalalalalalala! Celebration!!!




Good o'l days mehn![/quote]Correct guy

Alex O.........the guy try no be small with all those dance steps,he was my favorite Nigerian artist back then.

dplomaticVal: It s mindboggling tht sm dummies here tht havnt evn seen the four walls of a classroom bfr are amongst the peeps ranting racism ,wht do u guys knw is racism?For pete's sake the salesgirl ws nvr in any way tryin to intimidate or feel superior to Winfrey because of her skin color!!!. The price of the bag Winfrey wntd to purchase was too exorbitant (equivalent to the price of a car). so the salesgirl ws only tryin to advise her as a client to go for a cheap affordable commodity because she nvr knew that Winfrey is a moneybag. so it is foolhardy for anyone to translate wht happened in zurich as racism.

Bros you have just won the most illogical comment price of Nairaland...please come to our office to collect your price on Monday. Don't forget to come with your ID.

@OP I feel you but the truth is, Nigeria is a third world country that is ravaged with poverty, no functioning institutions, where superstitious beliefs reigns supreme over simple reasoning, where everything is left to God to resolve, we can go on and on,,,It is just sad and pathetic, the most pathetic fact is that no one cares, we just go about our daily activities as if all is well, loosing sight of the fact that we or someone close to us might be a victim someday....Well, you can start an NGO that is basically committed to unraveling the circumstances of suspicious death in Nigeria, sure you have the passion...Hit the Internet make research, get in touch with international NGO's and start small, don't forget that it is a delicate job that may consume your life and your death might go unresolved....That's just the fact....RIP to all whose death remains unresolved and their killers are walking free due to the failure of our government and investigative institutions...Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Noted: Will take necessary action in due course...meanwhile my add is resilienceguy at gmail dot com

smajatt: men honestly dea nids to b legalisation of arms in this country if we want all this tinz to stop.cos if d whole 18 or so passenger had guns d fulanis wld tink twice b4 atacking. even a triger happy police man wld tink twice b4 misfiring,same goes to our politicians. i tink d only way out is self protection either u go meet ombatse cult for correct jaz or u get ursef enuf hand grenades nd guns for tight situations cos honestly dis country is nt safe.

My Broda i wish this can happen..It will really go a long way to achieving peace and security in Nigeria.
Honestly,if i have legal right to carry a weapon for self defense i have no reason to worry where ever i find myself in this country, be it Borno,Lagos or Delta State.

Soludo will have many excuses to give the Anambra people why he cannot deliver on his promises immediately after he gets to government house.


1. He inherited empty account from his predecessor
2. He will use the little resources left by his predecessor to unleash EFCC investigation on him.
3. The problems and difficulties he will encounter and unable to solve are inherited not created by his administration.

I beg I dey work make somebody help me complete am...I go come back later.

If we understand where we are we will know that our beloved country is in a mess..The top officers from the DPO,Commissioner,AIG and IG are all aware of this katakata wey dey face them..Na who dem catch na him be thief for Naija oooo,i hope everyone knows what "Returns" means..It is just annoying how this people bully innocent Nigerians on the road,every young man who drives a good car and looks good is a suspeect to this aliens in black cloth wey obioma make for them.

Back them in class I simply say NO IDEA SIR and take my seat without the lecturers permission...I was asked to leave the class twice by the same Dude,well it was cool for me because he stopped disturbing my peace....I will jokingly tell my pals......guy if I know the answer to the lectures question why I come dey disturb myself to come class..

Everyone has the good and bad side.....while we denounce,rebuke and punish the bad side if exhibited we must also compliment, cherish, and praise the good side...Who am i to judge after all he is serving his jail term in London having been caught for exhibiting his bad side and on 4th August 2013 his good side is been celebrated...

bobthebuilder99: The question is, will their home states try to turn it into a tribal issue, or be mature and realize that it is a non-discriminatory policy that effects everyone equally.

Here is the New York Police Department arresting some drunks for being a public nuisance.

There is no state that will turn down the reintegration of its people who are destitutes in other states, however, due procedure must be followed. These individuals irrespective of their mental state, economic or social position are humans and deserves to be treated as such,sanitizing the environment of these individuals who pose health and security risk to the environment is a welcome development which all states should embark on. They should be under the care and custody of the government of their respective states that is the beauty of good governance...Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

We don't need a violent revolution in this country, just start from your house, street, community,work place to right the wrong. Be bold to confront the injustice, speak the truth where ever you find yourself and never allow anyone intimidate you. I have been privilege to block the vehicle of a senior police officer who was driving against traffic, he threatened but I stood my ground,lo! and behold when i didn't give in to his threats hundreds of Nigerians present on that fateful morning joined me, he understood the power of stand your ground and obeyed the law, election is around the corner, politicians are preparing day and night on how to win (do or die), how many Nigerian youth will come out to vote?..How many of us are willing to stand our ground but dont forget he who comes to equity must come with clean hand, we have to purge ourselves of every action that connotes the negative...Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria! Long Live the Youths of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Well, I have been watching and reading from the sideline, I hope the moderators will grow some balls and ban ethnic bigots forever,blocking their IP address from accessing Nairaland. Nigerians are hospitable and peaceful people, we have to stop this ethnic and tribal bashing before it ruins us. Meanwhile, I have vowed never to put my state of Origin in any official document in this country, my legal team is ready for a legal battle with any institution or authority that will deprive me of my fundamental right as a citizen of this great nation. If we fail at the High court,we will go to the appeal court,if we fail at the appeal court, we will go to the Supreme Court,finally if we fail at the Supreme Court,I will give up my nationality.

Jumobi Adegbesan ageing gracefully,was so much in love with her when she was at AIT in the 90`s,i dont miss her lunch time programme;complained bitterly to my Bro that Richard Mofe Damijo took my babe from me as if she was my age mate.I am happy theirs have stood through thick and thin.RMD thanks for taking care of her and Jumobi Adegbesan thanks for not looking out.

olaheavy: First off, I remember you came on me so strong sometimes in 2012 when I viciously attacked these same folks (Ibos) you just wrote about.
Anyway, that being said, I share in your frustration. That's exactly why I've been crusading for so long on nairaland against the Ibos. Your observation concerning "pseudo-sophistication" facade that some docile Yoruba people are putting up is well-taken. However, personally, I blame Christianity as a religion for the complacency of our people. I know, from the point-of-view of a Muslim, this assertion may not go down well with you and other Yoruba Christians. You see, the Yoruba Christians are do fanatical, emotional, and narrow-minded when it comes to their faith. The dangerous influx of the Ibos to our Yorubaland was necessitated and perverted and even encouraged by the subtle complacency of the Yoruba Christians. Anytime there is the need for us to move against the Eastern foreigners, fellow Yoruba who happen to be Christian will readily come to their rescue. They're the ones that always come to an illogical conclusion of: "ah, leave these people alone now. After all, they're not sitting on your head!" And this their bullcrap is predicated upon only one thing -- religion. I am from Ibadan -- and growing up in Ibadan was fun. There were no Ibos conspicuous enough to be seen anywhere in Ibadan. It was only the Hausa/Fulani wayfarers that were ubiquitously abound. And we loved it that way. Then after the war, the Ibos all left their Eastern abode en masse, and inundated us with such an unrelenting mass exodus of their people. It was mind-boggling for want of a better word. Look at Ibadan today! I mean - it's an eyesore. Ibo folks full ground well well. Our people actually wanted to do something about this anomaly before it went out of hand, but our fellow Yoruba who happen to be Christian (whether myopically or ignorantly) failed to see the looming danger until it became an albatross on our neck. The Ibos are so smart -- they studied our way of life, learnt our language (Ibos even speak fluent Yoruba better than some idiotic Yoruba who have given in to the "pseudo-sophistication" mentality), imbibed our culture, ate and perfected the preparation of our foods even though they hypocritically deride us as "oily soup ones", took advantage of our sound and free educational scheme. But, in the end, the Biafrans will still insult us and call us cowards for accommodating them and not slaughtering them like the Hausa/Fulani do to them in the North. You all know that the Ibos respect the Mallams up North! It's no longer secret that the reason that the Ibos are scared of the Mallams is because they butcher and roast them (Ibos) like suya. Yoruba are I inappropriately tagged cowards because we don't maim and kill them. Just like Louis Farrakhan opined that the white man only respects the black man when the black man becomes violent and meets force with force. The same thing is true here: the Ibos will only respect the Yoruba (Ibos' benefactors and hosts) when and only when we are ready to violently rail on them without the ridiculous interference from the hypocritical Yoruba Christians. My five cents.

Another psychiatrically challenged patient....Visit Yaba left.

Prof Corruption: Go the East and appoint as many Babalojas as you deem fit. But you don't come to West and tell us how to express our culture and tradition. If you find that too difficult to bear, sue the state or go back to your village.
